What Is Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair refers to damage or faults in a rental property that make it unsafe, unhealthy, or unfit for habitation. Some of the most common housing disrepair issues include:

• Leaks and Damp – Water damage, mold growth, and structural dampness.
• Faulty Plumbing – Broken pipes, persistent leaks, or poor drainage.
• Heating Issues – Lack of proper heating, broken boilers, or defective radiators.
• Electrical Hazards – Exposed wiring, faulty sockets, or unsafe electrical systems.
• Structural Damage – Cracked walls, broken windows, or unstable flooring.
• Pest Infestations – Mice, rats, or insect infestations due to poor maintenance.

When left unresolved, these conditions can lead to serious health risks, increased financial burdens, and significant distress for tenants.

Your Rights as a Tenant

As a tenant, you have the legal right to live in a property that is safe and in good condition. Your landlord is legally obligated to:

• Ensure the property meets health and safety standards.
• Carry out necessary repairs within a reasonable timeframe.
• Prevent conditions that could cause harm to tenants.

If your landlord fails to address housing disrepair issues, you may be entitled to:

• Compensation for physical harm or health issues caused by poor living conditions.
• A rent reduction or rebate if the property is uninhabitable.
• Legal action to force your landlord to complete necessary repairs.
